What We'll Cover:
Do gardens need a colour scheme?
Gardens come with their own natural colour scheme – leafy greens, earthy browns and pops of colour from flowers and wildlife. So the colours you choose for your garden room could complement or contrast with this space.
It’s a good idea to create cohesion between your garden room and outdoor space, so extending the colour scheme into your garden with furniture, fencing, decking or plants will help it flow better.

How to choose the best garden room colour
Match your personality
If you’re bubbly and outgoing, opt for bright colours like the tropical colour palette above to show off your personality and inviting nature. If you want a peaceful retreat, go for muted or natural colours like green, brown, soft blue and white.
Online inspiration
Search the web and social media to find endless inspiration. Look at the style of other garden rooms and don’t be afraid to ask homeowners specific questions like ‘what colour rug would go with a brown sofa’ or ‘what paint colour for a grey garden room.’
Pinterest
Pinterest is a good place to find garden room colour ideas. It has plenty of home and garden decor content, so you can create your own mood board of inspiration.
Consider your surroundings
When deciding on garden room colour ideas, step into your garden and look around. Would you like it to blend in or grab attention? If you live in a coastal town, blue would complement your location well or if you live in the countryside, a green or oak garden room would look fabulous. Take a peek into your neighbours’ gardens too – what colour scheme have they opted for?
Create a moodboard
Stepping away from a screen can unleash your creative side.
Collect cuttings from magazines and brochures, order colour cards and swatches of fabric, and put them together to create your vision. You’ll quickly see what colours look best together.
Garden room cladding vs paint
Eurocell’s Garden Rooms can come as a blank canvas so you can paint the walls whatever colour you like. Or you can opt for an interior package that comes with internal wall cladding, flooring and skirting.
If you go for the unfinished option, you can transform the space however you like – whether that’s wall art, wallpaper or paint. And you can change it however many times you like over the years.
With wall cladding, you can choose from three classic colours and textures including Fun Wood, Brown Slate or Light Wood. You won’t have to keep painting it and it’s very low maintenance. Wall cladding can also create the perfect backdrop for your office meetings, yoga sessions or small business.
Where to start with your garden
Once you have decided on a colour scheme for your garden room, it’s time to take it outdoors.
Let’s say you opted for a vibrant creative studio, You might then add pops of colour inspired by your garden with a couch, pillows, hammock or rug. If you're particularly creative, you might even paint a mural on your garden fence or commission an artist to do one, or simply paint the exterior wall in a colour that matches your garden room design.
How to make a garden wall look nice
Rather than a boring exterior wall, transform it into a feature.
Cover the wall with climbing plants or flower baskets which would add to a cottage garden theme. You could even create a ‘living wall’ with real plants or artificial ones. Or why not simply paint the wall to match your fence or garden room and then add fairy lights to create a backdrop for evening parties?
You could always do something simple like add outdoor lights to it or place garden furniture against it.
Plant flowers
Flowers help tie your colour scheme together.
Depending on the colour scheme you decided, plant some flowers outside your garden room to make it inviting and draw attention to it. Position flower pots so that they can be seen from inside your garden room to help connect the inside and outside. To add interest, mix pots of different heights and let flowers trail down the sides. Pink sunflowers are incredibly popular and help to attract bees and butterflies.
Grab a vase from your kitchen adding some of the plants and put it on your garden room shelf, coffee table or desk.
Outdoor furniture
To use your garden to its full potential, you will need some exterior furniture. Here’s what you could add:
- Sofa
- Bench
- Pillows
- Rug
- Deck chair
- Hammock
- Dining table and chairs
- Swing chair
Pick the furniture that best fits your needs. If you plan to read in your garden, a deck chair or hammock would suit it well. But if you're entertaining guests, opt for a sofa and dining table with chairs.
Create a path
To really draw attention to it and avoid walking on your grass, create a little path to your garden room.
Materials like concrete slabs or gravel are suitable, and you could create a straight or curved path. Plant flowers on the side of it to add some character and install some floor lights to illuminate it in the evenings.
The best colour schemes for garden rooms
The best colour scheme for your garden room will add to its purpose and functionality. And more importantly, you will love it.
There’s plenty of choice, so remember to consider the seasons, your location and outdoor space. A moodboard will help you envision the colours scheme, so get fabric and paint samples and see what works best.
